The 18^th Annual Boonville Beer Festival will take place at the Mendocino County Fairgrounds located at 14400 Highway 128 in Boonville, on Saturday May 3^rd. The taps will be open from 1pm until 5pm. Gates open at 12:45 for those of you anxious to get in. Save fifteen dollars by purchasing your ticket in advance or pay $55 at the door on the day of the event. Keep in mind that it’s cash only at the door. If you are blessed with the presence of a designated driver, you should buy his or her ticket for a very low price of five dollars for the non-drinking. Music, beer and a sampling glass are included in the price of admission. Camping is available at a first come first serve basis for those of you looking to make a weekend out of it. The beer lineup is impressive; at last count I know of 75+ breweries that will take part in this event.
